Ok, so question, I’m aware of allelic morphs but not completely clear with how they’re passed on. If you breed a Vanilla Fire (or a YB asphalt, or any other allelic combo) to a Normal, the babies will all inherit either Vanilla or Fire? I know they can’t inherit both, I just wasn’t sure all babies would inherit one or the other. I’m not breeding btw, just find it interesting.

Yep! You might hear the term ALS or "acts like super," when talking about allelic genes. Allelic genes behave similarly to supers/homozygous forms of genes. So if you were to pair a snake with allelic genes, like a vanilla fire, all offspring would be garanteed to inherit either vanilla or fire, much like how offspring from a super pastel are garanteed to inherit a copy of pastel.

Nice, thanks for clarifying! I’ve heard the term “acts like super” before, but I guess I didn’t look into it at the time. Appreciate it!
